Willow above

The ship swerves left and right avoiding enemy fire and Willow wakes up on the floor. Angelica comes down to check on her. "Are you ok Sweetie?"

"Fine, adjusting but fine," Willow says with smirk trying to find her balance as things become stable again.

"I knew I liked you," Angelica says with am accent thicker than usual of hispanic smirking back,"Alright well its time for you to meet the crew and eat. One of the boys is my son. The Captain is asleep and I figure being here for 6 weeks its time you officially meet all of them," she said winking at Willow remembers running into an african-american kid who Angelica made swear he would not tell a soul or she would make him walk the plank. He never said a word his name was Mikey.

Willow perks up as the ship is back to the usual swaying and says "I have seen them before I came never interacted with any of them. They seem pretty young that's pretty cool."

"My husbands idea so our som would actually have friends and they can do the heavier jobs a lot quicker then older generations," Angelica proclaims as they slowly move up the plank staircase. Angelica leads and gets on deck. As soon as Willow gets her head out all eyes are on her.

"Keep your working boys we still have a meal to prepare for the lovely lady and a deck to swab. GET MOVING!" A tall tan boy with dark black hair and green eyes yells approaching Angelica.

"Thank you Jack! This Willow is my son Jack Sparrow Junior, my idea actually," Angelica says proudly as Jack puts out his hand.

"A pleasure to meet you," Jack says as Willow firmly grabs his hand and gives it shake. 

The other boys staring at them she rolls her eyes and says, "The pleasure is all mine Captain's boy. My name is Willow."

"Welcome to the crew," he says gesturing to the rest of the boys.

"You can have a seat next to me Willow,"  Angelica says as the boys bring out wooden chairs along the a long old wooden table. All at once food comes to the table left and right from boys of all ages. Willow recognizes one to be her brother who winks at her as he passes.

"Elijah, this is where you have been?" Willow questions as everyone gets semi-settled around the table.

"You know her?" Mikey asks looking towards Elijah and now everyone is.

"She is my sister, and yes dad knows. Though I am sure he doesn't know you are here now does he," Elijah glances from Mikey to Willow.

"Go ahead tell on me kiss up," Willow says passing on the potato salad without taking any.

"Oh please you have covered for me for years I owe you," Elijah says grabbing two drumsticks.

"Thanks bro, so let me introduce myself. My name is Willow T-" Willow begins but Elijah cuts her off.

"Tucket we all know that you are my sister," Elijah says winking towards Willow. 'Why can't they know our last name?' she wonders in her head.

"True. What are some of your names?" Willow asks grabbing drumstick for herself.

"I am Leo," A scrawny little tan boy with shaggy blond hair says looking straight into my eyes like I am hiding something. His eyes are topaz and she guesses he is about twelve.

"Yeah but we call him Pitt because he never wears deodorant," a caramel boy about my age with dark brown scruffy hair with eyes to match spits out yes, literally spits on the table.

"Yeah, so what he probably is not the only one on here who does not." Willow retorts back and then asks, "Whats your name?"

"William, Mikey over there is my brother," he says gesturing to the kid she has already met. Everyone starts to have their own conversations.

"What brings you to do this ship? I know its been a while of hiding so it is not us men," Jack says next to me with a devilish smirk.

"Freedom," she says simply grabbing a spoonful of mashed potatoes off her plate.

"From what?" Jack asks curiously and all the table is quiet desperate to know.

"Isolation and have a future pre-determined," Willow says with sigh looking straight into her brother's eyes.

"Understandable," Mikey says in between chews.

"That does sound terrible must have only been you then 'cuz your brother said his father brought him here. Old friend of my father I guess. Well, we will keep your secret and not send you back," Jack says winking at Willow with a smirk.

"It is because I am the 'precious' little girl who can have fun but is not allowed
to travel to far from our home island," Willow says with a sigh and an eye roll.

"That's mean," shouts a blond next to Elijah.

"Not to mention sexist," William grumbles.

"Thank you," Willow says throwing her hands in the air. Everyone is laughing hysterically now spatting food all over the place. Willow keeps glancing from Jack to Elijah. Jack looks like she has imagined his dashing father must have looked at his age with some of Angelica in him as well. Suddenly, the ships makes a sharp left and they all scramble for the food and go to one side of the table. Willow dashes to the trapdoor  hearing the Captains's footsteps approaching his room's door.
